Jump Festa 2024 is almost upon the fans and it is only a matter of days before fans get to know what Oda plans for the upcoming year in One Piece, as well as some other interesting bits of information from him. The time of Jump Festa is always exciting. Fans find out new bits of information from both the anime and the manga and major plans that the series has as well.
Over the past few years, Oda has actually made quite a lot of big reveals in Jump Festa and that is precisely what has fans excited for Jump Festa 2024 as well. With just a few days to go, fans are eagerly waiting in anticipation to hear from Oda where the story will go as Egghead Island edges nearer to its conclusion.
Oda’s Message From Last Year
For Jump Festa 2023, Oda dropped quite a big message. The message last year was focused around Film Red, One Piece’s Netflix Live Action adaptation, One Piece Odyssey, and, of course, the manga itself. When it comes to the manga, Oda focused on the battle royal theme of the Egghead Island arc and, as well as some important bits of information here and there. This is what Oda had to say about Jump Festa 2024, translated by Artur, from the Library of Ohara:
“To everyone attending Jump Festa, as well as everyone else tuning in, hello. This is the world-famous idol Eiichiro Uta. Kidding.
Now then, this year the Wano Country Saga finally ended, and while the manga’s been plenty busy, Film Red also became a massive Box OFFICE hit, so it’s been one mind-blowing year. All One Piece staff members were cheering with joy.
Uta-chan’s upcoming “Red And White” TV tour will be airing for the following days only as well, so I hope you can enjoy it. Also, the trading card game actually turned out to be pretty fun. Right before this, I asked my editors “Gimme the rare cards” but they told me “that’s a desire not even the likes of us can be granted access to”… what the hell?!!
This long story has already been going on for over 25 years, and recently I’ve noticed that more and more younger readers are getting into it, which makes me happy. I know I’ve been saying final saga this and final saga that, but it’s not gonna end as quickly as I’m making it sound, so I’d recommend not stressing over it and just reading comfortably.
next year, the game that’s been 6 years in development, One Piece Odyssey, will finally release! and, the One Piece Hollywood live-action is making progress. For now, we have the base footage of season 1. So much went on behind the scenes, but if I’m being honest, the most worried person in the world that this will turn out good is me lol… but it actually looks AMAZING!!!
And finally, regarding the One Piece source material in 2023, it’ll be a type of story that will have you going “No way!! that person and that person are gonna be fighting?!” If I were to give it a descriptive title, I’d call it a ‘great battle royale’!! hope no one dies~!!
Please look forward to the One Piece series this following year like always!”
Jump Festa 2024: A New Message From Oda
Looking at the message from the previous year, it is clear for the fans to see that Oda revealed quite an interesting amount of information. Oda mentioned that a lot of major fights would be happening in 2023, and that is exactly what took place. The likes of Law fought against Blackbeard, Shanks fought against Kid and, of course, Luffy ended up engaging in battle against Kizaru and now, Saturn. But that certainly wasn’t all. The Revolutionary Army Commanders fought against the Marine Admirals and, of course, one cannot simply forget about Garp and his invasion of the Pirate Island. One Piece was full of major battles in 2023 and Oda certainly gave fans a very good hint in Jump Festa. That is exactly what fans are going to be expecting from Jump Festa 2024 as well.
Fans should expect Oda to congratulate the One Piece Live Action staff in his message and, at the same time, likely drop some hints about season 2 of the show. However, most fans would want to hear about developments in the manga. Perhaps, Oda will tease the fact that Egghead Island is finally going to conclude in 2024, which is expected at this point. It is highly likely that Oda might tease some developments related to the upcoming arc, that is Elbaf. Every fan of One Piece knows that the Straw Hat Pirates are going to visit this island and, perhaps, now is the time for Oda to hype this interesting event up.
Most importantly, Oda could also hype up other players in the Final Saga. The likes of Shanks are going to enter the fray more and more with each passing chapter as One Piece heads deeper into the Final Saga. Just like Shanks, Dragon is also going to be a very important character moving forward and fans should keep their eyes open for him as well.
Jump Festa 2024: A Sneak Peek Of Chapter 1102
Last year, Oda dropped a sneak peek from chapter 1070 of the manga, which was supposed to be released later in the year. This time around, something similar could end up happening. One Piece 1102 is quite close to being released, however, the manga is on break at the moment. This means that Oda could use this opportunity to drop some spoilers for One Piece chapter 1102. Last year, Oda released a panel of Luffy in Gear 5, fighting against Rob Lucci and dealing a very heavy blow to him. This time around, the story could reveal another panel, however, it would be focused on Kuma or Bonney. Given that the story is currently completely focused on these two characters, fans should expect a panel of either Kuma undergoing some experimentation or, Bonney setting out to the sea to become a pirate. Regardless of what Oda reveals to the fans, it is certainly going to be very interesting and something that fans are eagerly waiting for in anticipation.
As always, there are likely going to be other surprises for One Piece fans in Jump Festa 2024, and that is another interesting aspect of why this is one of the best times of the year for any fan of the series. Of course, this time of the year is also riddled with the brakes, but, the information that fans get about what to expect from the upcoming year of the story is nothing short of extraordinary.
As always, fans can tune in on Jump Festa on the official One Piece YouTube channel.
As for One Piece’s next chapter, the series is going to be available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. Since One Piece is going to be on break, the release date for the next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1102, is set to be December 25, 2023.
